I see. Sounds a bit like Mahasi-style Vipassana. There's an endless number insights to have, so there's probably an endless number of practices to do. It's all about using your attention effectively.

it sometimes seems like one can "choose between". Even that is an illusion (on what basis do you choose?), but there can be this increased sense of freedom/choice because of the increased awareness.

it feels like ordinary people are completely robots and that you somehow are less. At the ultimate level you aren't, but there is a feeling you're awake and they're sleeping. Hard to talk about.

It's not that you're really different than anyone else on any fundamental level, or better than anyone else; you just happen to be aware of the fact that you're a robot, while others think that they're a self. It is hard to talk about.

Well, I think one can retain a self. Of course, to do so, that self has to do nothing, so... ;)
-
Heh. Fine. You can have a self, but you can't be one.
